Since you've shared that anecdote, may I ask why you chose to go to such a university? I'm guessing it's probably a religious university (don't know of any non-religious schools with such strictures). Was it for spiritual reasons, or for financial reasons?
Personal question, obviously, so feel free to tell me to shove off, but I'm very curious how intelligent people make these decisions.
I'd be happy to discuss those personal decisions in a private setting (email me, if you wish, it's on my profile). I don't think a public discussion will yield much benefit.
Also, I would argue military academies have such demands upon the person.
